Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 35
Lovely DGW! You know sometimes there comes a time to quit a cult, which is just another way of saying that we wish we hadn’t been caught idolizing a Liver bird. Never trust Liverpool, never trust Liverpool, never… you get the drift, this was our Gerrard slip. Lucky to stay inside the top 3K, we dropped to 2882nd place. Now here comes the sign from a higher power that we should not trust the Scousers. We dropped 666 :satansmoking: places! We read the sign loud and clear, sell everything wearing red, Sterling, Moreno, Henderson and Kop. But before we sell everything, let us run a quick review of the GW pain we went through.
As expected (somewhat) Ospina delivered a clean sheet for us. You might find it surprising to hear us say that, but CFC haven’t exactly been going for broke lately. So it wasn’t shocking to see the Colombian come up big and by big we mean almost knocking Oscar back to Brazil. Those Colombians are beautiful people. Our back line was fantastic! Well if you only count big John Terry and ignore the other two. With a goal and a CS he certainly did the business in the double. Might even send him a couple of lonely housewives as a reward. Speaking of DGW defenders, what about Moreno you ask? We need a hug :noshake: How dare you bring that up?! Simply said, sometimes we sack up and take a chance and they get chopped off. Oh well, our last defender Clyne did manage to play, but proved almost as useful as Moreno. PvA came in for the Spanish ghost and garnered us 2 points. Please let us now move to our midfield where I am sure our Double LFC and CFC put on a show.
Our Liverpool duo put on an “amazing” display. Hendo & Sterling combined for 10 points over the 2 games. Frankly we should have known better. Maybe if we had a Liverpool fan helping us decide on what transfers to make we would have not committed this folly 😉 The Scousers scored 0 goals in two games vs West Brom and Hull. We would say that is laughable if it wasn’t so painful. Our other 2 mids didn’t exactly show the Liverpool boys up. Our captain Eden Hazard managed to blank over 2 games and only grabbed 5 points, doubled up to 10. Fabregas, if not for a late assist against the Foxes, would have scored even less than his 3 midfield mates. We will now begrudgingly move onto our forwards, who at least have the excuse of having only played one game.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie… missed a penalty and got a yellow. Thanks for that buddy. Well at least our other strikers did something positive. Young player of the year Harry Kane got us 5 points and was carried off the field by the English press. Argentinian Sergio Aguero scored at the Etihad and we saw all 3 fans applaud. And please City fans don’t write in to complain, assuming that empty blue chair can read and write.
Transfer(s) for GW35 – Sold everyone with Liverpool under their name
We jest of course. We wanted to, out of pure frustration, but they have a stay of execution. Namely QPR at home. The actual transfer was –
Sold Austin, bought Giroud
This was always the planned transfer and a sensible one we feel with DGW37 looming and of course he has Hull this week and he’s hot. (In form, hot). Let’s just hope he makes a better fist of it than our last lot did!
Our team in full…
Captain
Our captain this week is Eden Hazard
We had votes for Aguero and it could have gone either way really as he’s at Spurs and they can’t defend but the majority came down on Hazard to shine, on what should be ‘title day’ for Chelsea.
Our vice-captain is Sergio Aguero
The team in text format is –
Ospina
Terry Clyne Moreno (boooo)
Henderson (boo) Hazard (c) Sterling (boo) Fabregas
Giroud (beautiful) Kane Aguero
Subs: Myhill, Puncheon van Aanholt Baird
Thanks for reading Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 35.
Morning all. My DGW wildcard disaster didn’t go as badly as I originally thought with 9 points from Kos on the bench. My new curse word “Schlupp-Moreno” is once again the cause of a headache. Do I play Moreno home to QPR or Schlupp home to Newcastle? Any thoughts also on Cambiasso over Sterling? Thanks.
Hi Swiss, you’ve now got too many players with good fixtures! Your cursed duo have both been declared fit and I reckon they’ll both play. Probably safer with Schlupp in that respect though. Sterling will likely be back up front so I think you’ve got to go with him in that respect. So yeah, basically as you are now!
Cheers init. An embarrassment of riches indeed. I’ll only subscribe to that idea when I have a massive haul on Tuesday morning. I wanted to bring in a third Arsenal player early but am reluctant to considering Hull’s last performance. I can afford Sanchez…..should I swap him for Fab or anticipate a Chelsea title winning goal-fest?
I’m not sure what to expect but I’d be surprised if it’s a goal fest in all honesty. Palace have had a couple of poor results but they are actually better away from home. I’m sure Pardews ego would like to deny Jose too. I think I’d do that move.
hasnt pardew got some amazing record against jose?
Think that’s more to do with Jose never winning away at Newcastle or something daft but yeah I guess a lot of those were against Pardew.
Hi all. After thoughts on team please and what to do. After liverpools failure I’m thinking of binning at least Moreno and maybe Henderson but swapping for who? Montreal and Downing? Any advice helpful cheers
Or shud I try and get Sanchez in ready for the dgw?
Moreno should be fit for the weekend.I’d start him and if he doesn’t play Pva will come in.I’d hold your transfer this week ,then do Silva to Ramsey and either Moreno to Bellerin or Foster to Ospina next week.Or do the Silva to Ramsey transfer this week.
Cheers Brooky. I just hope Liverpool turn up!
Any suggestions on who to take out to get giroud in. Choices are hazard, Ramsay, mata, cambiasso and Henderson. I’m swayed to either Henderson or cambissso. Also hazard to cap??? Cheers
Anyone?
Can anyone help with this?who to take out to get giroud in from my mids. I’ve gone with Henderson but not sure. Also haz for cap? Cheers
Kickers, I’d play Henderson over Cambiasso, personally.
Cheers cookie
its been 4 months since i visited here. sigh! my phone.
my dream of finishing in the top 40k looks a dream now. still in d 59k mark.
this is how am set for the week
Mignolet
Terry Bertrand Dawson
Sterling Hazard(c) Fabregas Eriksen
Aguero Kane Austin
bench- Krul PVA Boyd Hutton
Still possible Nishant.How much in the bank and how many transfers mate ?
1.9mn itb and no free transfer. used it for Cazorla to Fabregas. though Austin to Giroud made sense to me. but its those small things which does the tricks sometimes. hoping Fab and Haz blast it. i mean really blast off the opps
Mate you need to be bringing Arsenal players in not taking them out !!! Lol You deffo should have done the Giroud move ! Next week I’d Switch Fab to Ramsey then use the cash to swap Austin to Giroud.
yep i would have brought in either rambo or giroud!
im bringing in ramsey for silva once the pressers have been done
morning folks , does this team look decent enough for the weekend ?
Davis
Ivan , Kos , Jags
Fab , Hazard , Sanchez , Hendo
Aguero , Kane , Vardy
Pants , Schluup , Boyd , Bruce
thinking should just keep the transfer and the only issue is the goalkeeper .
is there any long-time players on here ? (fpl I mean ????)
has the rules always been the same for years ?
three things I would change : sub in your best scoring substitute , an assist only counts if it’s inside the box and not touched by any opposition player and lastly no capt or vice capt your highest scoring player would automatically be double points . (this last one would save idiots like me a lot of bother haha) .
Hi Sid, I’d probably plays Schlupp over Jags but that’s it, rest is good.
Yep, rules always been the same more or less. They altered how they award the bonus points a few years back to make it ‘fairer’. Not quite sure that worked! As for capos you can’t scrap that bit, that’s half the fun!
Will schlupp be straight back in team you think ?
I reckon so Sid but there’s always an element of doubt of course but he was part of that little winning run so I think if he’s 100% he’s back in. If you’ve any doubt then just play Jags.
Morning!
Quick question: Play Vardy? If yes, who to bench? Was considering dropping Sterling to the bench, but think he might play as striker since both Balo and Surridge are out.
I’d play him over Henderson Ritz.
Vardy for Kane -Spurs not playing well and newcastle in disarray
